1,000th book cataloged on GR! I wanted to read more about labor rights after Kirsten Hannah's Fourth Wind, so I picked this one up. What I didn't know is that it's set in Spokane, WA and the surrounding area, 2 hours from my home! While the use of antiquated language around people groups was obnoxious, I did love the discussion of various POVs on unions.
